New International Red Band Trailer for KICK-ASS 2 – Plus New Character Posters

Two brand new trailers for director Jeff Waldow’s Kick-Ass 2were released online yesterday. The first of which is an international trailer, while the second trailer is just a red band version of that. While these trailers tend to stray away from the plot, they do focus on Chloe Grace Moretz‘s character, Hit Girl. There’s a bit of new footage here, but nothing too crazy. Hit Girl was definitely a fan favorite in the first film, so I’m sure there will be plenty of Hit Girl in the much anticipated sequel. I prefer the red band trailer, just because I enjoy the bad language and blood. The red band trailer is also a little bit funnier than the regular one, so take a look for yourself! Also released are posters for Moretz’s Hit Girl and Jim Carrey‘s Colonel Stars and Stripes. Hit the jump to take a look.

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.

When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.
